GOOD DISlNFECTANTS.
How Many livestock Diseases and ALL
ments May Be Prevented.

Cheaper than cure, especially with
livestock, is prevention. While with
many contagious diseases, it is, of
course, often impossible to keep ami
mails from being attacked, yet by using
good care valuable aid may be given
in keeping the stock intact. If kept in
a good, thrifty condition, and with
reference to good health. there is very
much less danger of animals being at
tackled, and if attacked, they are in a
much better condition to withstand the
inroads of disease
Filth breeds disease. and is Indirect
~ the principal cause of the larger
proportion of diseases in our livestock.
And when stock are kept reasonably
clean, and are provided with warm,
clean, dry quarters, and are fed upon
clean food, ordinarily such stock will
be healthy. In order to do this to the
best advantage, it will be necessary to
thoroughly diSinfect the poultry house,
pig pens. COW and horse stables, and
the sheep sheds. All need thorough
cleaning, and when difficulty arises,
disinfection. Especially should thor
ough work in this direction be given in
the spring. In great majority of in
stances the stock have been more or
less confined, and as natural conse-
quence these places have become more
or less foul, and in such case it will
almost certainly cause disease or breed
parasites, in some respects fully as
bad as disease. Where the pens are
close enough to admit of thorough
work, burning roll sulphur is good
disinfectant; add a little old grease, so
that it will burn well. Crude carbol;c
acid is another good, cheap material
that can be used to good advantage.
AS it is a poison if taken internally.
some care must be taken in using.
The places should be thoroughly cleaned
out and then the carbolic acid,
diluted with water, be applied freely.
A good brush will, for most purposes,
be the best, as it will reach the cracks
to the best advantage. Lime applied
as whitewash is very valuable to pu-
rify, and also to destroy germs and
parasites Carbolic acid can be added
to the lime whitewash :fter it is made,
and it will be all the more valuable.
Amy of these are cheap, and should be
used literally in the spring, after
cleaning up. The work should be done
reasonably early, before the warm days
come on, and other farm work becomes
too pressing.-F'arm, Field and Stock.

and both felt thcmSelvr, disappointed,

time during the first clinch they were
rolling over and over like Il big ball,
tearing, biting md growing. and the
movements of the tiger were much the
quickest. They finally separated, each
backed off Il few feet, and each stood
broadside to me. | could see half a

while the tiger had been terribly Bit

faced each other for about a minute,
the lion roaring in deep bass and the
tiger snarling like an enra9ed cat.
Then, as swift as Il flash Of lightning,
the tiger bounded through space and
they rolled and tumbled about. The
fight was too fierce to be kept up long,
and too determined not to result in
severe njuries.
When the beasts finally struggled to
their feet, the tiger had hold Of the lion
just back of the foreShou,lcr and he
hung there and worried the king as a
dog would Il sheep. Twice the lion

but he suddenly made grand eNertion

and caught him by the neck. | thought
all was over with the cat The lion
actually lifted him clear off the ground
and sh )ok him. and this time the tiger
whined. After bit, however, he
twisted his body around until his hind
claws came into play, and then the
lion had to let 90. There was another
rest for 4 minute or two, and again the
tiger was the aggressive party. This
time they fought more like dogs,
neither seeming able to down the other

still doing their best to destroy
each other when they rolled off the
bank into the creek. Each was cover
ed with blood from nose to tail. and
the injuries inflicted must have been
serious. The tumble into the water
separated them, and while the tiger
reached the opposite bank at one spot,
the lion crawied out at another thirty
feet away, and both limped into the
forest without the slightest desire to
renew the fght.-M T. SIN.

busting About Stoves.

A good deal of busting around coal
stoves and open fires may be done to
advantage with damp sponge. An
experienced house-keeper uses large,
coarse sponge, once devoted to wash
ing carriages. Throw it into pail of
warm water, and add teaspoonful of
spirits of ammonia. Squeeze it out as
dry as possible and pass it quickly over
the plain furniture, the paint, the zinc,
the corners of the carpets, the oilcloth,
ETC., rinsing out occasionally. 1t will
remove every bit of dirt, and not
merely dispense it into the room, as
cloth OF feather buster too often does,
and leave bright, shining, clear sur
face that is very gratifying. While
you have the pail in hand you will find
it easy to wipe off finger marks or
traces of that CRIME which seems to
come, no one knows how You give a
cleansing touch here and there to
doors, cupboard-she!ves or tables, with
very little loss of time, and without
any of that deliberate effort required
for regular cleaning.-Boston Budget.

Where purple pinks and pansies grew,
And roses sparkled in the dew.
They were so lovely in my sight,

And with full hands wandered down
Until reached the busy town.
Then round me, like a swarm Of bees,
Game ragged children. crying please!

tion the pest blood and brains that the hardy
young States that had so recently been strug.
Cling colonies could produce The composition
OF the new Territory was vnrious and compro-
hensive The first and important settlement at
Marietta was New England colony, In n short
timo the growing fame OF Ohio attracted other
pioneers and other daring emigrnnts.
On the 10Th day OF October, 1883, John Clevos
Symmes arranged with the Board OF the Treas
nry for the purchase OF great tract OF land sit
uated between the Big and Little Miami rivers,
and tho second settlement in Ohio was COM
menced in November OF that year at Columbia,
within the limits Of Cincinnati
In 1871 the third settlement was made at Gal
1lpolis by party OF French emgrants, and the
next settlement was made on the Western Ro-
serve In Cuyahoga County.
In 1896 Nathaniel Massie laid the foundation
OF the settlement of the Scioto Valley by laying
out on his own land what is now the city of Chill
h0othc. Chillicothe was an important settle.
ment from the beginning, and It is of its early
history that this sketch will treat. In 1791 Mas.
sic made settlement at Manchester in Adams
County, hut II did not thrive, and he made uso
of the station there as q base OF supplies and
for point OF rally and departure, rs he was en-
gagged in surveying the Virginia military lands
in the Scioto Valley given by Congress to sol
diors of the Old Dominion.
Chillicothe was settled by colonists from tho
South. The pioneer Of the Scioto Valley, the
man who did the most to explore develop and
settle 1t, was Nathaniel Massie q native OF
Goochand County, Virginia, born in 1903.
Colonel Massie's father was n farmer in easy
circumstances, who educated his sons for tho
practical work OF life. At the age of seventeen
young Massio was soldier in the Continental
army. After his return from the service, like
so many of tho pioneers of Ohio ho became
surveyor, and in 1881 set ou: to seek his fortunes
in Kentucky. He was by nature fitted for the
dangerous and difficult work of an explorer
and surveyor on the frontier, and ho soon ac-
quired all OF the skill and craft of the woods
